Given that the false positive in #1502 is marked E-hard and I don't have much hope of it getting fixed, I think it would be wise to disable this lint by default. I have had to suppress this lint in every substantial codebase (>100k line) I have worked in. Any time this lint is being triggered, it's always the false positive case.

The motivation for this lint is documented as:

A unit value cannot usefully be used anywhere. So binding one is kind of pointless.

with this example:

let x = {
    1;
};

Sure, but the author would find this out via an unused_variable warning or from x not being the type that they need further down. If there ends up being a type error on x, clippy's advice isn't going to help get the code compiling because it can only run if the code already compiles.

changelog: Remove let_unit_value from default set of enabled lints

Agreed. Waiting for GHA to get fixed.

Sure, but the author would find this out via an unused_variable warning or from `x` not being the type that they need further down. If there ends up being a type error on `x`, clippy's advice isn't going to help get the code compiling because it can only run if the code already compiles.
